methylene blue for the treatment of covid-19 in pediatrics

Despite vaccination against sars-cov-2, the covid-19 pandemic continues to expand worldwide. early reports suggested that only a minor proportion of pediatric population is affected by covid-19 in comparison to adult population. three percent of pediatric population needed admission to intensive care units, and only a small number of deaths have been reported. available literature suggests that infants (children under 1 year) seem to be more vulnerable to covid-19 virus infection with a higher severity of illness compared with other pediatric ages. requirement for neonatal mechanical ventilation is 20%–22.4% (vs. 4% in children) (1).
